“Personal Information” shall refer to information which you provide to us which personally identifies you, and includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, mailing and/or physical address, mobile device number, telephone number, date of birth, and other information or data that identifies you, which
is collected and maintained by us, and may otherwise be collected by us through your use and access of the Site or if you otherwise directly provide such information to us. “Personal Information” may also include information you provide in connection with a payment or banking service offered to you in
association with the Site services, whereby you may provide and maintain your credit card or bank account information with us in connection with your purchase order or account. Such information may also include, depending on whether it can be reasonably linked to your other Personal Information or used to identify you, your IP address, MAC address, device-specific information (including hardware information about any device you are using to access or use the Site, such as your UDID or hardware model information), device type, unique device identifiers, advertising identifiers, serial numbers, mobile
network information, file names and versions, preferred languages, operating system information (including your operating system version), browser type, location information, user preferences, dates and times of use of the Site, browsing activity and browsing history, and features you have used. Personal
Information may also include certain combinations of such information that meets the applicable statutory or other legal definition of “Personal Information” for purposes of breach notification (such information, “Statutory PII”).

Information You Provide to Us: We receive and store any information you knowingly provide to us. We may use any information you provide to us for our business purposes. Also, we may receive a confirmation when you open an email from us. This confirmation helps us make our communications with you more interesting and improve our services. If you provide us your phone number, you may also receive messages that we send you via SMS as part of the normal business operation of your use of the Site. If you do not want to receive communications from us, please indicate your preference by emailing
info@nextsecuritycorp.com.

Information Collected Automatically: Whenever you interact with our Site, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, web beacons, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Site, and the page or feature you requested. “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Site are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. A “web beacon” is an object that is
embedded in a page or email and is usually invisible to the user but allows checking whether a user has viewed the page or email.

We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Site as such data can provide us with how often users use a particular feature of the Site, and we can use that knowledge to make the Site interesting to as many users
as possible.

If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, a third party may also transmit cookies to you. This Policy does not cover the use of cookies by any third parties, and we shall not be responsible for third parties’ privacy policies and practices. We do not access or control these third-party cookies or web
beacons; however, we may have access to data generated from their use, such as when we view analytics reports provided by such third-party tools and services. Please note that cookies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Site, and those third parties may not honor the “Do Not Track” requests you have set using your browser or device.

E-mail Announcements and Newsletters: We use e-mail to send  announcements regarding services, and/or promotions, discounts, and informational and marketing content and newsletters. Announcements via email are on an opt-in basis only. By providing us with your contact information, you
are opting in to receiving these e-mail announcements. You can choose to unsubscribe from our e-mails at any time by sending an email to info@nextsecuritycorp.com or by following the detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each e-mail. We may also send replies to users’ e-mail via e-mail. Finally, if you have sent a request to us about which we need to communicate with you, we may do so by e-mail.

Information Collected from Third-Party Websites and Do Not Track Policy: Through cookies we place on your browser or device, we may collect  information about your online activity after you leave our Site. Just like any other usage information we collect, this information allows us to improve the Site and customize your online experience, and otherwise as described in this Policy. Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Our Site does not support Do Not Track requests at this time, which means that we collect information about your online activity both while you are using the Site and after you leave our Site.

Calls and Text Messages: Next Security LLC and its partners and affiliates may contact you at any telephone number(s) you provide in connection with your use of the Site. By providing your contact information, you consent to receive communications (including communications containing an artificial voice or
prerecorded message or made using an automatic telephone dialing system) from us, our affiliates and partners, including your wireless number, even if that number is registered on a corporate, state, or national do-not-call registry.

3. PERSONAL INFORMATION RECEIVED
We do not rent or sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone, provided certain Personal Information may be transferred in connection with business transfers, as described below. We may share your Personal Information with third parties as described in this section:

Information that’s been de-identified: We may de-identify your Personal Information so that you are not identified as an individual and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Site, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience. However, we never disclose aggregate usage or deidentified information to a partner (or allow a partner to collect such information) in a manner that would
identify you as an individual person.

Affiliated Businesses: In certain situations, businesses or third-party websites that we are affiliated with may sell or provide products or services to you through or in connection with the Site (either alone or jointly with us). You can recognize when an affiliated business is associated with such a transaction or
service, and we will share your Personal Information with that affiliated business only to the extent that it is related to such transaction or service. We have no control over the policies and practices of thirdparty websites or businesses as to privacy or anything else, so if you choose to take part in any transaction or service relating to an affiliated website or business, please review all such business’ or websites’ policies.

Agents: We employ other companies and people to perform tasks on our behalf and need to share your information with them to provide products or services to you; for example, we may use a payment processing company, such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Paypal, Meta Pay, Shop Pay, Amazon Pay, and Venmo
to receive and process your credit or debit card transactions for us. Unless we tell you differently, our agents do not have any right to use the Personal Information we share with them beyond what is necessary to assist us. Note that an “agent” may also be considered a “partner” in certain circumstances
and would be subject to the terms of the “Information that’s been de-identified” section in that regard.

Business Transfers: We may choose to buy or sell assets and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

Protection of Us and Others: We may use or disclose personally identifying information if we have a goodfaith belief that the disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to satisfy applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, (b) to enforce agreements we have with you, (c) to address fraud or security issues, or (d) to protect against harm to the rights, property, or safety of the users, or our contractors and employees.

4. SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information. Because of the constitution of the Internet, however, no security measures or transmissions over the internet can be 100% guaranteed to protect your information, and the rules of data protection and the
security measures mentioned above may not be observed by other persons or institutions beyond our control. Especially unencrypted data - even if sent via e-mail - can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence to avoid this.

Your account is protected by a password for your privacy and security. You have the responsibility to protect the information you provide, especially username and passwords, from misuse, whether by encryption or other means. You must prevent unauthorized access to your account and Personal
Information by selecting and protecting your password appropriately and limiting access to your computer or device and browser by signing off after you have finished accessing your account. We will never ask you for credit card information or personal information by email.
